    I'm not sure why this game is suddenly getting bad reviews. Sure, the story is unrealistic and filled with porn logic, but so what? It's good ole pervy fun, with competent dialogue, some humor, most of the LIs are great and very different from each other. The MC is a manipulative jerk sometimes, but other times is a complete bro. Good kinks, some good gradual development of d/s relationships. Just fun all around..

    ps - the end of the last update (the walk through the house with Catalina) couldn't be better *chef's kiss*

    This game is decent but has many cliches and probably tries to do too much. The writing is fairly good and the dialogue will usually keep you interested with the women. MC is returning home where his Dad has a new young partner living with him. She is the main woman of the game. She's fastidious with cleaning and wants to implement these ideals on the new maid. There is sub-plots involving gangsters and secret agent style storyline. This is not that well told & doesn't feel like it connects to the rest of the game cohesively.

    The MC looks like a sleazeball, which the model has been used many times in other games. He is a master of manipulating women, has super human strength, able to lift men in the air with one hand around their throat, can take out gigantic boss men with one punch, save and carry women from a burning building and is a super spy who always gets his target. Seems like the Dev has some fantasy about being a hero and making women fall in love with him in an instant, as if he is Superman... yes MC literally dresses up as him! lol.

    The choices of picking a submissive or affectionate relationship for all the women is pretty good. I think all the scenes and the writing around them is quite strong. Theres no quick sex, which shows restraint and makes it feel earned when it does happen. The tease scenes with the female characters (other than Beth) don't seem to be that sexy, although good but not great. Occasionally the dialogue doesn't reflect if you have chosen to ignore certain women. If they have a strong role in the story, sometimes it will take you along for the ride, without caring what has been said previously. There are scenes where different choices bring about the exact same outcome, with no change in variables. As if Dev put it in there only to make it look less kinetic, as there weren't choices for quite a while.

    The music is some of the worst I've heard in a game. Although it is varied and often, it felt so out of place for most songs during the scene. Quite mismatched and annoying. I usually like background music but to me this was really bad. The comedy is poor, I didn't even chuckle once during gameplay. It usually comes across as cringe and unfunny.

    The character models in this game are definitely not the best. Very strange looks to basically everyone, like they are almost unfinished. They still have their own charm and uniqueness though. Renders are slick and mostly have filled out areas with props making believable environments. Bodies are highly detailed but faces leave a lot to be desired. The animations are some of the best I've seen in a game. A couple of real standout scenes!

    If the Dev kept the sub-plot of being a superhero, trying to get rid of the crime in the city and get revenge for past events to a minimum. This would have been a much more sleek game. I do like a plot but to me this felt way over the top and not that well written compared to the much more fleshed out relationships. Most of the scenes are well written with the women and is the strong point of this VN. The spying and action storyline feels tacked on. The unnatural, plastic looking models don't help engage you into the game, which is a shame as the dialogue is written well between characters. This probably sounds like a one star review but it is 3/5. Theres just a lot of crap to wade through to get to the good stuff. The good stuff is very good. Shows that writing for the most part is the strongest contributor.

    I am as cynical and impatient as they come. I play h-games for the h rather than the game. MtP doesn't even have all that many dirty scenes, per se. But there is a proper story. There are differentiated characters. Choices that mean something without locking you out of too much content. Most of all, there is writing, for anyone who cares about this stuff. Too much writing, perhaps, for some of the inner monologue. I'm not talking about number of words here. After a slow-ish start, these characters begin to take form. What happens to them seems to matter. The corruption and domination elements belong to the story and to the MC. I think I'm going to chuck him some money. I want to know what happens next, and that's as rare as gold sovereigns around here, right?

    In my opinion, the game is very well done,
    the scenes look very good.
    The graphics are also nice.
    The gameplay was a pleasure to play, quite a good feeling.
    The main character (gg), in my opinion, looks beautiful.
    The story of the main character was well written

    This game is a steaming pile of garbage and I do not understand the high ratings... I gave a shot on this because of the high ratings, and there is a screen shot of two women in front of Beth wearing spanking skirts, and that is high up on my list of fetishes. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it that far...

    First off, the MC is a sexist pig, there is being sexually dominate and degrading in a sexual way, then there is being sexist just to be comically evil stupid and MC is the latter. There is a running joke of HUR DUR women can't drive, how fucking original...

    Then there is the main story of revenge for his mother who got ran over, and Cat keeps trying to tell him something, but he won't let her talk, I know you were there that night and have firsthand knowledge of what happened, but don't worry your pretty head about it, let the men do the thinking... Now let me eat you out.

    I'm pretty sure Cat was the one driving the fucking car, because that would just continue the running joke about women not being able to drive... But I'll never know, because really, I just don't care.

    Thene there is the whole side story of the MC being a secret agent (because of fucking course). What kind of secret agent you might ask? Who the fuck knows, because these scenes are so boring and tiresome I skipped past most of them. Oh look, here comes an awesome scene with Beth and the maid chick, I can't wait! NOPE! Gotta go meet cousin dumb fuck steroid testicles, because he's really my secret agent boss, or some shit... Ugh

    Then of course the MC despite being the definition of alpha male (dumb and sexist) is wearing more makeup than most the female characters. Seriously it looks like he's wearing lipstick in most scenes, and he is definitely wearing eyeliner...

    This whole thing reads like a vanity film translated to a porn game.

    Oh yeah, the gang that controls the cities is called The Testies...

    The Testies.

    Fuck.

    The MC looks like he is looks maxing, and it only seems to get worse with time. The girls are all sub-Gen-8, and look terrible. The lighting effects are amateur at best and the story is boring. The execution of mechanics in the form of requisite "sub" or "love" arbitrary points is abysmal and ancient in terms of design. There's just not much to love here. I would say the writing is readable and the envs looks decent. That's about it really.

    It is an alright game, was thinking between 3 and 4 score.

    It is simple VN so I would hardly give a 5, plus I can't say there are any memorable scenes in this one to this date.

    The writing seemed okayish, but I have skipped a bunch of text, where it was overbearing. The pacing feels off, you have interaction with one girl, only to be cut abruptly and move to the next girl in just the next frame.

    The core concept of the storyline about maids in the house seems to be decent. Overall, there is nothing too bad in this game, and nothing great to speak about. Models/faces could be a little better.

    3.5/5

    Really liking this one so far. Good story well done characters, nice artwork. This one pushes most of the right buttons.
    There is plenty of plot to develop here and the characters are interesting(mostly) with nice art work.
    So far updates have kept me interested.

    Another fine example of a skilled dev. Worth supporting.

    Lately I have tried games that have disappointed me.
    Some you might expect to be bad, but others you thought were going to be good and they weren't.

    However, I think that this game, despite being a little slow, has a good story and some pretty good characters. The creator creates a story for each character and that is the great thing about this game.

    Little by little we get to know more and more about the MC, his story and how he seduces girls. Don't expect to be masturbating during the first two hours of play, you have to wait longer, but it's worth it.

    One thing I love is how the characters change their clothes and makeup depending on the events that occur. No characters always wearing the same clothes and the same makeup, even in the shower. For events they have makeup and it is very pretty. Not in the mornings.

    And I'm really liking Chris's character. I won't say anything else, but it's worth it.

    So the writing is largely pretty good. Minor errors here and there. And the MC all too often spouts some cringe BS, but I suppose that is par for the course in bulk of these games. At least the overall narrative is solid and the characters play off of each other in an entertaining enough fashion.

    The renders are great and the bulk of models used pretty good, but the MC's model? Really ain't a fan and I don't think I can elaborate on that without it being misinterpreted as hate speech. Also the animations are real hit and miss. Some are great, lots are a bit jank and a couple feel straight broke. Or rather that the ladies wrists in these couple of animations looked unnaturally bent.

    Music exists but it's garbo. Mute it and load up Spotify or whatevs.

    Overall in spite of some minor issues I found it a hard game to put down and I eagerly await future updates.

    It's definitely a wish fulfilment power fantasy, so you need to enjoy this type of game. However, since that is essentially a genre and thus can't really be considered a pro or a con, but simply a personal preference, I don't include it in this review.

    The story is very well written and reasonably original, the renders are beautiful, and the animations are great.

    There aren't really any choices to be made about the story, but with every single LI scene you can pick between love, submission, or passing on them completely, which is far to rare for this type of game.

    The LI's themselves and the side characters are varied and interesting. I saw some reviews calling the MC a simp, but I don't see that at all. A simp is generally someone who bends over backwards for a woman in order to get laid, but the MC helps in a far more casual manner, and simply because he wants to help. At least, that is my interpretation, and I'm saying that as someone who hates the simp-type MC as much as anyone.

    That said, there are some clichéd moments, like the MC not letting someone finish talking multiple times, only to later find out that what she was going to say was important.

    I do like, however, how the MC didn't hesitate when it came to his revenge, or excessively ponder the moral implications of it all. Is it realistic? That's debatable and depends on the person, but its so overdone that I'm really glad it's not in there.

    Anyway, I would have given this game 4 stars, but I'm going with 5 to slightly compensate for some of the previous reviews that I believe were overly negative and not objective enough.

    This is another entry into the genre of what I like to call "harem white-knight simulators." Girls exist for the MC to protect/help in some way, and the MC is jacked guy who is also super smart and caring and a badass and also an undercover agent and blah blah blah. Generic wish fulfilment stuff.

    However, while I am not a fan of this type of game at all, I will admit that it's executed better than most games like it. The english is readable, the scenes with the redhead are pretty hot, and some of the dialogue is genuinely funny.

    Visually, the characters are inconsistent, and the facial posing is oftentimes very poor, but I do appreciate the visual diversity of the LI's.

    This game is definitely not for me, but if you enjoy these types of wish-fulfilment games, you could do a lot worse.

    I really liked this VN. It has great and high quality renders.

    Grammar and spelling is good, but not perfect.

    The females are very well designed and has great variety.

    There's Maledom and affection route for all women (i think?). Which is great since that makes it feel like your choices actually matter and has an impact on the story.

    There's a tiny bit ofcomedy in the VN, i usually hate comedy but its minor and well done enough that it doesnt bother me.

    The only problem I have with this VN is that MC acts like a simp while believing hes being chivalrous and gentlemanly, when in fact hes being nothing but a simp.


    then theres the fact that mc keeps shutting down the latina cop even though she obviously had some very important information to share with him, then when said important information finally gets through to MC from someone else rather than the latina cop, The MC proceeds to throw a tantrum and call her a liar when it was HIM who kept shutting her down when she tried to tell him. That was incredibly shortsighted and childish of him.



    i would've rated this 4.5/5 originally, but the MC made it a 3/5.

    Maid to Please [v0.14.2] Surprisingly great game. With good dose of humour and magnificent animations. We have a deep story about revange and lust. I must admit that I was sceptical at first, but this game clearly made to my top tier list. Best animations I have seen with hair psychics added too. In most games if not all I have not seen movement of hair. This is the first one and I love it. Add that animations are from not one angle but it is from multiple perspectives in one smooth animation which is really good. I was surprised when I burst out laughing over jokes in a game. I barely do it watching memes. Even less in games, but this one accomplished that.
    Humour 5/5 Great jokes to laugh at
    Animations 5/5 Great animations with varying perspectives and hair movement
    Renders 4/5 Some renders, especially backgrounds leave much to desire
    Plot 4/5 I will admit that I tought up similar story in my mind and dev made it a reality
    Eroticism/teasing 4,5/5 Hard to point to one single good thing because there are many but it could always be better

    Add to it that is a game for few hours of playing. At least in one playtrough.

    [Reviewed v0.13.3]

    This is worth 3.5 stars - a solid but not spectacular title with lots of familiar tropes. The more recent updates have made some improvements but overall this feels pretty average.

    The Good ((y))
    • The story and characters have unique wrinkles and the narrative seems to be building to something interesting
    • Diversity of LIs and romanceable characters -- both in personalities and body types
    • Good use of animation
    • Models / graphics seemed to have been improved in more recent updates
    The Not-So-Good ((n))
    • A lot of the settings / relationships / character tropes are all very familiar
    • Graphics look quite dated and aren't really up to 2024 standards
    • Some of the faces are often contorted or maintain ugly expressions
    • While the overall story has some interesting aspects, there are other plot points that are a bit strange / off-putting -- there's a whole vengeance / investigation sub-plot that has some darker moments, like the MC killing characters
    Overall, I didn't mind the game and will probably play future updates, but this doesn't otherwise stand out from a quality perspective.

    Played 0.13.3 – visual novel, main plotline is rather linear, you mostly choose whether to engage with a girl or how to treat her.
    Plot is pretty interesting, writing is great, renders are mostly pretty (some women have weird goblinfaces at times) and the sex scenes are hot and well written. There’s also a decent amount of content already. The relationships are pretty slow burn though, so it takes some time until you get to sleep with the girls (which I like). There are two main points in the game – affection and submission. Affection makes you seduce the girls, submission makes you act more domineering.
    While the bdsm content is pretty light (mostly domination, some spanking, handcuffs) the psychological parts are really well done. You can slowly corrupt the girls and their reactions and their submission to the MC actually makes sense.
    I’d recommend it, but don’t expect hard bdsm, cages, collars, whipping – this is more sweet wholesome domination of girls who enjoy, or come to enjoy it. Mostly consensual (some blackmail with one girl).

    From the title, I was all prepared to be bored and dump this game pronto -- but what a nice surprise: it's really good! A bit of almost everything, some kink, some romance, a lot of delightfully comic, hothouse writing (the MC had a kind of Archer vibe - in a good way!) And so many avenues to choose! Only petty grievance for me would be the character of Jessie, which seems deliberate, but still an off-putter. But all in all, well done!!

    The submission and love routes make this a minimum 3 stars. I especially like how the submission route goes the 'I'm doing this for your own good' aspect rather than 'you'll take it and like it' aspect. The MC exerts control over the LIs in subtle forms (e.g. telling the LI to wait to get out of the car until he opens the door, etc.) which is an interesting addition. It is refreshing to see a novel pepper the domination with affection. I enjoyed the story line of making the wife submissive behind the MC's father's back, but then a lot of characters start dropping in and some plot about the MC being a special agent really ruined this for me. I found myself skipping large amounts of the story and LIs to get to the Father/MC/Father's girlfriend scenes. After a while, I just gave up and looked at some porn. Well, let's add this to the burgeoning ignored thread pile.

    Excellent story. 5 - 10 hours of content depending on reading speed. Small amount of replayability.
    Production quality is extremely high throughout, animations start generic and janky but become very smooth in the more recent updates.
    Characters are well written, MC is likeable, models are cute.

    My only criticism is I feel the game has too many characters.
    The bloat means that you get interested in one characters plot line, either actual story or lewd development, then get frustrated when it jumps over to a different thread for half an hour.
    Some characters are left almost entirely untouched after introduction and early points (affection).

    A directors cut which streamlines content, reshuffling the story to be more coherent would easily push this into the top 10 on the site.
    I rate it 5/5 regardless.

    As of 0.13.3

    Ok, that was a pleasant surprise.
    Neither the name of the game, nor the description do it justice. What the game is in reality is a decent dom/corruption porn game, married to an action thriller as the overarching story.
    As a porn game there is stuff to be desired, there are some glaring tropes in here (horse dick, a guy every chick wants to bang, choices not telegraphed well), but the characters are fun and interesting, the story is pretty engaging, while not taking itself too seriously.
    MC is likable and fun.
    Neither a slow burn, nor a fuckfest, to me it finds a good balance.
    Strongly recommending this one!
